Directed acyclic graph

From Obyte Wiki
Revision as of 15:03, 31 March 2018 by Slackjore (talk | contribs) (reformatted)

DAG, directed acyclic graph, is a distributed-ledger technology that links transactions together directly without miners or blocks.

Currently (April 2018) there are three major DAG-based cryptocurrencies: Byteball, IOTA, and Nano (was Raiblocks).

There is a wiki article comparing Byteball and IOTA.

Here is a table detailing differences among them. See the Cryptocurrency subreddit thread[1] for further discussion.
